Command Analysis
Current form
Dustin Stoltzfus is not just a fighter, but a real American samurai, stubbornly walking through the storm. In 2017, he won gold in the German promotion We Love MMA, defended the title twice, and then, as in the old action movies, stepped into the territory of predators — the UFC. There he was greeted not with flowers, but with three consecutive defeats. But this guy's character isn't made of styrofoam. In November 2024, he went up against the formidable Marc-Andre Barrio and in 90 seconds showed him how the American school beats — a knockout, a bonus, an ovation.
Before that, he strangled Punahili Soriano, showing that he could be dangerous in the stalls. However, Brazilian Bruno Ferreira threw him a Mortal Kombat-style chopper, and Abusupiyan Magomedov loaded the front kick with such precision that Dustin seems to have reconsidered his life priorities. Stoltzfus is not a robot, but neither is he a bag. He has 16 wins on his record (three by knockout, six by decision, four by suffocation).

Nursultan Ruziboev is a machine from Uzbekistan that goes forward without brakes and with a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the ready. His track record is like a movie about a lone fighter: WEF Global champion, Open FC champion, and now he's rioting in the UFC. In February 2025, he turned off the lights to Eric MaConico - a clean knockout in the second round. Before that, I lost by decision to Joaquin Buckley, but it was just a hitch. At the start of the UFC, he finished ahead of Bruno Ferreira and Cedric Dumas, both of whom were eliminated in the first round. Nursultan has 35 wins, including 15 by knockout and 19 by submission.

8.00Tip and bets
The bookmakers are on the Uzbek's side — and for a reason. Ruziboyev in a cage is like a lion in a savanna: size, strength, technique, animal intuition. He can take Dustin down with a punch, he can strangle, he can do both in one round. But Stoltzfus is a fighter with character. He doesn't have super talent, but he has the will and the head on his shoulders. He knows how to cling, knows how to move to the stalls, and can arrange a surprise if Ruziboev gives up. Getting into a fight with Ruziboev is like sailing to shore on a boat full of holes. The fight is likely to start cautiously — Dustin will try to stretch the pace, slow down the pace, cling to the time. But then the Uzbek pressure will kick in, and the meat will begin. It is worth choosing a bet on the duration of the fight.
